James Hillman Quotes

I’m the result of upbringing, class, race, gender, social prejudices, and economics. So I’m a victim again. A result Picture Quote #1

... you find your genius by looking in the mirror of your life. Your visible image shows your inner truth, so when you’re estimating others, what you see is what you get. It therefore becomes critically important to see generously, or you will get only what you see; to see sharply, so that you discern the mix of traits rather than a generalized lump; and to see deeply into dark shadows, or else you will be deceived Picture Quote #1

Character forms a life regardless of how obscurely that life is lived and how little light falls on it from the stars Picture Quote #1

Of course, a culture as manically and massively materialistic as ours creates materialistic behavior in its people, especially in those people who’ve been subjected to nothing but the destruction of imagination that this culture calls education, the destruction of autonomy it calls work, and the destruction of activity it calls entertainment Picture Quote #1

I can no longer be sure whether the psyche is in me or whether I’m in the psyche Picture Quote #1

You don’t know what you’re going to get into when you follow your bliss Picture Quote #1

We have to give value to authority. We have to give value to office, being in office, holding office Picture Quote #1

The culture is going into a psychological depression. We are concerned about our place in the world, about being competitive: Will my children have as much as I have? Will I ever own my own home? How can I pay for a new car? Are immigrants taking away my white world? Picture Quote #1

Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a particular path... this is what I must do, this is what I’ve got to have. This is who I am Picture Quote #1

If you are still being hurt by an event that happened to you at twelve, it is the thought that is hurting you now Picture Quote #1

The comic spirit masquerades in all things we say and do. We are each a clown and do not need to put on a white face Picture Quote #1

I think we’re miserable partly because we have only one God, and that’s economics Picture Quote #1

We can’t change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently Picture Quote #1

The word power has such a generally negative implication in our society. What are people talking about? Are they talking about muscles, or control? Picture Quote #1

Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. If a kid is having trouble or is discouraged, the problem is not just inside the kid; it’s also in the system, the society Picture Quote #1

Just stop for a minute and you’ll realize you’re happy just being. I think it’s the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit, it’s right here Picture Quote #1

All we can do when we think of kids today is think of more hours of school, earlier age at the computer, and curfews. Who would want to grow up in that world? Picture Quote #1

You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam; you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy Picture Quote #1

The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage, in a strange way Picture Quote #1

You are born with a character; it is given, a gift, as the old stories say, from the guardians upon your birth... Each person enters the world called Picture Quote #1

From my perspective as a depth psychologist, I see that those who have a connection with story are in better shape and have better prognosis than those to whom story must be introduced Picture Quote #1

Follow the lead of your symptoms, for there’s usually a myth in the mess, and a mess is an expression of soul Picture Quote #1

Each of us needs an adequate biography: How do I put together into a coherent image the pieces of my life? How do I find the basic plot of my story? Picture Quote #1

In the history of the treatment of depression, there was the dunking stool, purging of the bowels of black bile, hoses, attempts to shock the patient. All of these represent hatred or aggression towards what depression represents in the patient Picture Quote #1

Our life is psychological, and the purpose of life is to make psyche of it, to find connections between life and soul Picture Quote #1

You know, people come to therapy really for a blessing. Not so much to fix what’s broken, but to get what’s broken blessed Picture Quote #1

The idea of death robs inquiry of its passionate vitality and empties our efforts of their purpose by coming to one predestined conclusion, death. Why inquire if you already know the answer? Picture Quote #1

Each morning, we return from the dream soul trying to adjust to the day world, that moment when the two souls exchange places in the driver’s seat Picture Quote #1

Food is so fundamental, more so than sexuality, aggression, or learning, that it is astounding to realize the neglect of food and eating in depth psychology Picture Quote #1

Psychology, so dedicated to awakening human consciousness, needs to wake itself up to one of the most ancient human truths: we cannot be studied or cured apart from the planet Picture Quote #1
